We'll that is interesting. Thanks for the pointer.

Trying it out, I see that the built-in CEC support is:
a. easier to set up
b. context-specific

However, using cec-client:
a. produces a different device name
b. allows more of the remote buttons to be used (e.g. channel up/down,
guide, prev ch, etc.)

Without knowing how CEC works, it looks to me as though the different
device names reflect different device types. It would be nice to be able
to use the extra buttons. Can this be specified somehow?

Your wiki entry also explains nicely why my TV was powering off when
exiting MythTV, which was annoying me.

Is there any way of specifying which input the TV uses? It is defaulting
to the HDMI mode without CEC.

Regards

Jeff
